Speaker:
Robert (Bob) Hull, Principal Engineer, Los Alamos Technical Associates, Inc.
Topic:
Bob will be presenting on "Hybrid Warfare - Cutting the Cable" - 95 percent of international data passes through about 600 cables
spanning about 1.2 million kilometers. These "are the world's information superhighways and provide the high-bandwidth connections
necessary to support the rise of cloud computing and integrated 5G networks, transmitting everything from streaming videos and
financial transactions to diplomatic communications and essential intelligence." Recent events show that these cables can be
surreptitiously cut by "bad actors." Come to this presentation and learn about the world's dependence on cables and what is being
done to make them more secure.
